Getting ready for a passage is not always for the ones having a passage it is for all involved, amazing. Let's see. I was thinking and writing today about one of our themes for the passage . I was thinking about all the different kinds of pain I have had in my life. I started thinking how gifts came from these pains.When repented of and given to Our Father.

The pain of sin is the gift of repentance and restoration.
The pain of self inflicting is the gift of learning.
The pain of loss gives us the gift of compassion and comfort for others.
The pain of pride gives us the gift of humility and humbleness.
The pain of hatefulness gives us the gift of love.
The pain of immorality gives us the gift of a chaste desire.
The pain of of unforgiveness gives us the gift of forgiving others.
The pain of self gives us the gift of seeking and trusting our brothers and sisters and not ourself.
The pain of accusation gives us the gift of being truthful.
The pain of loneliness gives us the gift of reaching out to those who need a friend.
The pain of being laughed at gives us the gift of endurance and sensitivity of not laughing at others.

The gift of pain also should encourage us that we are always being taught by Our Father. The pain Our Father suffered was just for us. And He was an innocent man.

Well this is all for now.

    Kitty, that was very profound. Something I'd like to look at again; take time to savor and digest. I will look forward to seeing what your group has at the passage. Thanks for sharing your pain....and the gifts that come to us. I love you, Hash

Under Snow

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at

John The Babtist Thoughts

Hi again. It is interesting how Shammah was talking about John at the same time that Amy Carmichael thought of him. She brought out when John sent the disiples to Jesus to ask Him if He is the one or not? His response for them to go back and tell John what they have seen and heard. John must have been so encouraged. Luke 7:22-23 Go your way, and tell John.... Before they got to the end of the mighty things they were to tell him, John's heart must have kindled with new hope: My Lord can do all that, He is doing all that, He is ominipotent. He is my loving Lord, and He is very near. He who is doing all these things will do great things for me. I shall soon be free- He who is opening the prison doors of death will open my prison door. Can you not hear him say it, or least feel him think it, as he listens to all the things His Lord can, and has done. And then instead of a promise and quick help, " Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended with Me"- Matt 11:6 and that
